Culture of Character

In 2013, the Roaring Fork Schools hosted 16 community engagement sessions with over 960 parents, students, teachers, administrators, and community members. These conversations illuminated the need for, among other things, improved character skills. The district adopted a new mission statement that included its commitment to supporting the development of students’ character skills: Roaring Fork schools will ensure that every student develops the enduring knowledge, skills, and character to thrive in a changing world. Over the last five years, the district has worked to actualize its mission through various programs and practices.
